Whether he still does this is unknown in his current tour setup. Previously Deadmau5 has talked about how he performs live using Cubase whilst tracking is done through Ableton. Particularly when it comes to latency issues. Fully flexible Cubase allowed to both record audio intuitively as well as write MIDI.īecause of how it was designed, Deadmau5 himself has talked about how much more reliable and robust Cubase is over Ableton. While Ableton’s future looks to be angling more towards live setups Cubase is very much geared towards composing.

Fully flexible software that is not just limited to the studio, Ableton also works well in a live setting. It is this ‘live’ method of writing tracks that makes Ableton fairly unique in the DAW world. They are then able to go back and tweak and tidy up individual settings as well as add more layers to build up their finished track. All the while actually recording their actions as they go. Playing these clips and dropping them in & out, producers are able to create loops on the fly. Because there is no master timeline, individual samples (called “clips”) can be looped independently, making it really easy and fast brainstorm ideas. Producers like Deadmau5 love Ableton, in part, because of how quick it is to write songs in it.
